NYPost: White House cut video feed of Taiwanese minister at Biden summit: report
The White House abruptly shut off the video feed of a Taiwanese minister during last week’s Summit for Democracy when she displayed a map indicating Taiwan was independent of China, according to a report on Monday.
The image of the presentation by Taiwanese Digital Minister Audrey Tang was pulled and replaced with audio on orders from the White House, Reuters reported.
The report, citing sources, said the White House became concerned that Tang’s map appeared to be at odds with Washington’s “one China” policy, which acknowledges but does not take a position on China’s claim that Taiwan is part of its territory.
